While it is a bit extreme, I would give Everyone full control on the folder where the docs resides. Short of that try giving the account that the CF services run under full control.
I remember that there are a couple of wierdnesses when you run IIS 5 on XP. You might want to put the docs on a 2003 Server machine.
